I touched down around 8 pm.Ramainya warga IIUM on the flight...some are flying to the UK (transit in Brunei), others are attending a conference at Uni. Brunei.
Suib and family fetched me at the airport.It's a different hotel than the last we stayed in.Better and dikelilingi oleh shops (my eyes sparkle at this.Haha).But internet use kat hotel ni leceh sikitlah.So do not expect daily updates (unless I'm so bored and have ntg to do).
Busy days ahead.Need to buy some local books before I start talking to the writers.
Suib was telling me how Brunei government bagi byk incentive to those yang hafal Quran (Brunei wants to be negara zikir..isn't that something? The first hafiz dapat BND100K and student hafiz dapat s/ship some BND2K a month.Oh wow!) Sultan jaga makan minum rakyat dia (ayam yang diimpot dari Msia pun are closely monitored..they have org dia jaga penyembelihan di Msia..penyembelihan ayam mas di Msia utk export ke Brunei dipantau oleh org2 Brunei sendiri.Begitu juga those done in Australia/NZ.Hotels semua halal..no arak..)
Bagusnya pemimpin mcm ni...

wow! now that is a good leader. haih. bile la malaysia nak dapat pemimpin camtu..
Xlanx: They had a long tradition of alim ulama (dari kalangan Sultan-sultan dia).Kita byk influence orang putih tak?
Ni nak pi interbiu a few writers ni.Tengah baca Muslim Burmat.Fantastic..dia very open-minded.Will meet up with him later.Penulis2 Brunei yang hebat2 ni ramai menteri2 depa (bahagian agama atau kehakiman)Dasyat, kan?
Aik...tak ajak saya pung ye Prof... ;)
Rizal: mana boleh ajak...kapalterbang dah penuh.Thks for IIMU pics (candid pics..tak sempat nak posing!)
Kak F di Brunei,
bagusnya dapat jumpa Muslim Burmat.saya baru tiba di KT, Ganu. kerja dan kerja.
Mawar: ada pengkritik Brunei kata Bung Muslim bukan yang terbaik..ada seorang lagi..saya tak sempat jumpa.Tak dapat saya bayangkan ada yang lebih baik dari Dato Muslim Burmat.I love him so much.His writing and him as a person (orangnya tak banyak cakap).Dia sedang menulis novel baru.Another philosophical piece.Saya suka Terbenamnya Matahari.Pasca-kolonial jika tidak anti-kolonial.Fantastico!
